Chapter 23
Naturally, Zhou Xue saw the salesperson’s actions. She put down her hand angrily and glared at Qiao Nian, livid. With malice written all over her face, she said, “Qiao Nian, you impudent bitch. You stole your sister’s boyfriend and now you’re stealing her shares. Have you no shame at all?!”
Zhou Xue’s expression grew darker and darker as she heard the mutterings of the people around her. Her gaze fell on the black card in Qiao Nian’s hand. Her eyes bulged and she shouted, “You are a thief! Tell me, where did you steal that black card from?”
Qiao Nian looked at Qiao Xin’s departing figure and gave a faint smile. She walked to a nearby stool and sat down, crossing her legs elegantly as she waited for the police to arrive. She glanced at Zhou Xue and asked, “Where did your good friend go?”
From Zhou Xue’s point of view, Qiao Xin’s actions made it more obvious that she was trying to cover something up. She looked toward Qiao Nian, who was standing at the cashier counter, with a sour expression. Zhou Xue’s eyes were burning with anger.
Qiao Xin had initially wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but when she heard Zhou Xue calling her, she hesitated. For a long moment, Qiao Xin stood rooted to the ground, unmoving. In the end, she hardened her resolve and turned to leave.
The more Qiao Xin explained, the more anxious she became. Cold sweat began to break out on her forehead. In the end, she sighed helplessly and looked at Zhou Xue with red-rimmed eyes. She said in a soothing tone, “Xue’er, let’s leave!”
The sales assistant looked at the pile of clothes in front of her. Her sales performance this month would definitely be the best among all the employees. Smiling, the assistant picked up the phone, preparing to call security.
Zhou Xue had always valued her friendships. At this moment, she was so angry that she could have vomited blood. She straightened her back, pushed Qiao Xin’s hand away, and walked towards Qiao Nian without hesitation.
The people around them, who were watching the spectacle unfold, immediately understood. Why would someone who could afford a black card even care about the small amount of shares in other people’s hands?
The sales assistant took the black card from Qiao Nian reverently. There were only a handful of people in this city who owned such black cards. So the young woman in front of her was a rich person!
The sales assistant smiled and nodded. However, before she did so, she still called the security guards over. She waited for the security guards to subdue Zhou Xue before she called the police.
At Zhou Xue’s words, Qiao Nian’s gaze landed on Qiao Xin, who was standing not far away. Qiao Xin had donned a worried facade, looking like an innocent little bunny. The pretense was obvious!
Zhou Xue flew into an instant panic. She was a nurse in the First Hospital. If the people in the hospital knew that she had slandered someone, they might chase her out of the hospital.
The sales assistant had just swiped the black card. Smilingly, she indicated for Qiao Nian to carry out fingerprint authentication. Qiao Nian casually placed her finger on the device.
At this moment, Zhou Xue felt as if the sky had collapsed. She looked at Qiao Nian in a daze, bit her lip and said fiercely, “Qiao Nian, you framed me. You will die a horrible death!”
“The bill, please.” As Qiao Nian spoke, she swiftly took out a black card, glancing at Zhou Xue with contempt. “Zhou Xue, I advise you to be aware of what exactly you are doing.”
